Just asked TMZ's Dax Holt on Twitter why no pics of Robin since her illness...

When your worth $500 million you can buy a lot of silence.

Exactly....but I am so glad Howard has to pay off all those rags to not report on Beth's past..it has to be killing him.

I don't recall seeing any photos of Robin in the last few years that weren't taken by H100 News or someone on Howard's staff. Howard has become completely irrelevant and Robin is even further off the radar. However, if she actually went to AGT or any of the social events she claimed to attend I would have expected to see a photo on Twitter or the website. The XMas party/staff photos will be a good test - if she's not included in those something's definitely up, although I wouldn't be surprised if they photoshopped her in.

Honestly I doubt its a conspiracy to protect Howard, Robin is just too Z-list to bother covering. Gallagher is literally more relevant and likely to be covered. People outside the Stern fandom do not give a crap about a radio second banana from the 90's. Also, TMZ's NYC resources aren't as extensive as their LA base and they really don't want to waste resources on that I'd imagine.

They covered miss howard sterns DUI 2-3 months ago.

Dax likes Howard, but doesn't actually listen to the show.

That's the only way anyone can still like Howard.

Double that number....and while your at it...sumwon sure as hell better double all of that silence too.

Knot a word...or they get the turd.

[BethsZygote]

There is no way Stern is worth 1 billion. 200 million might even be a stretch.

He signed two ~500 million dollar contracts. Tax Man gets a VERY BIG chunk.

You have no idea.


(...but in all honesty...I know that someone knot so secretly loves it all...the hunt..the chase...all of the up and down sideways
drama...the control..the lack of control....that someone lives for this type of stuff...eats it all up and only wants more and more.)

[Ruffypup]

Him giving you a short answer may appear weak but this topic will be discussed amongst TMZ's staff and all it takes is one rebel rebel out the group to bring your tweet to life... Congrats

...and you appear to be forgetting about a few very important factors.

Well...either forgetting...or perhaps they are simply unknown to you..so they aren't being factored into the various mixes of money.


Yes....the tax man....indeed. ...

wrong- they are on the radar enough to see photos of sickly radio personalty. He's got them in his pocket there's not doubt about it. Look at how many years the Mike Walker game ran. Why? Because they had a cozy relationship. He's cultivated relationships on purpose like that with all those rags like Perez Hilton, TMZ. He's on first name basis with these guys. They will not cross him.

Stern signed two 500 million dollar contracts? I don't think so. The language from the first contract reads:

Our aggregate fixed obligations under the agreement are approximately $100 million per year. These costs include production and operating costs for the show, including compensation of show cast and staff, overhead, construction costs for a dedicated studio, a budget for the development of additional programming and marketing concepts, and payments to Stern and his agent.

Now that's a lot of money, to be sure...and I'm sure Howard (and Don) pocketed the lion's share. As far as I'm aware, no real details of Howard's second contract has ever been leaked. One thing I guarantee you...it sure wasn't for $100 million a year. And Howard has more than admitted that much...whenever he's stammered out a response to someone who says he took a pay cut, he always claims that with the fewer hours he's making the same. But that's probably a lie too. There's just no way in hell that Sirius could justify throwing that type of money at Stern for another 5 years.

This I totally believe.Howard is one sly guy when it comes to holding onto his marbles. It's a big world out there with lots of hiding places and he is so entitled that he believes he pays what he has to pay in the U.S.

As for the money spent on sanitation, it's an extraordinary amount that he keeps putting out to erase all he does. Beth's entire life begins only just as they romantically "met at a dinner party." Those companies charge a bundle. Howard has bundles to give, but unwillingly, I'll bet.

Robin- I just don't think people in the mainstream world give a flying fuck. She wants her privacy and that's how this will go until she writes a book about it.
